CWKeyer - After having been frustrated by juggling a computer
keyboard and keyer paddles for so many contests I decided to write a CW
Keyer module for you guys and gals that develop new logging programs every
time a new contest comes up. It is specifically for VB developers to include
in their projects. It uses a CT like interface
that toggles the RTS pin of a serial port. Use a single 2n2222 or equivalent
to key your rig.

CWKeyer.txt
This is a text file of the module you can use to paste into your application.CWKeyer.DOC This
File contains instructions on how to use the module and inerface it to
your application

Keyer.zipDue to popular demand by non-VB developers- this file has all the files
needed to run the keyer in Windows.
Include CWkeyer.exe, vbrun300.dll, and mscomm.vbx. Place vbrun300.dll and
mscomm.vbx into your windows\system folder.

CWKeyer.zip
This is my development folder for the CWKeyer program for those who want
to tinker with CWKeyer.exe

A nice application was written by Brian Kassel K7RE of the AZ sQRPions....Check
out the super contest logging program QRPDUPE.

DXChecker - This module
is a side effect to the logging program that I am developing. It is a function
that you call from within a basic program that has a callsign as a parameter.
The function returns a string that is the DXCC country that the callsign
is from. It extensively uses 'case select' and' if-then-else' statements,
making it compatible with quick basic as well as visual basic. The ARRL
DXCC list and country allocation list was used to develop this function
that was originally used to fill in the SPC field of my logging program.

DXcheck.txt
A listing of the function that you can cut and paste into your own programs.DXchecker.exe
A visual basic program that I used to test the function but makes a nice
little program itself.

If you don't have Visual Basic currently installed
on your computer but want to run these programs downloadVBRUN300.DLLfrom
the web - to your windows system directory or else these programs won't
work. For the keyer program you will also need MSCOMM.vbx that can be found
with a quick search on the web.
